I just received these in the mail. I just started running this fall and realized quickly that in the winter I will need a waterproof shoe outside. There wasn't a lot out there for "water proof". I have liked Asics so I gave the one shoe they had a shot.
As far as fit goes, they are more snug than my other Asics. I think I read this is due to the way the tongue is attached to the shoe. I plan on lacing without using the loop in the tongue and maybe some longer laces. Get a half size larger if you have wider/thicker feet. I ordered my regular size for Asics and feel that a half size larger might be on the looser side of fitting.
Now for the important part, waterproofing. So I took a wet paper towel and wrung it out all over the toe of one shoe. Then proceeded to wear them around the house for about 15 minutes. The outside of the toe felt fully soaked but inside there was no tangible wetness. What I thought might be some seeping was actually the cold from the water-not the water itself. Awesome-with my other shoes, water runs through like a strainer!

I should have believed the other reviews this shoe definitely runs small. I am a loyal asics buyer, so I bought the same size I always have. I have a narrow foot and these shoes are very tight. I'm hoping that with wear they will loosen up a bit.

The fit is snug, but I think that is a good thing. I ordered my regular size and the shoes fit fine for my purpose, which is casual wear. However, if I were running in these I would consider ordering a half size up. I think the snugness in the toe area is caused by the rubber on the toe, which doesn't extend upward as far in the other running shoes I've had. The shoes have less weight than I expected for a trail runner ( my New Balance shoes were much heavier ). The shoes seem to be more stabilizing than my other running shoes, even my other Asics shoes. I got a chance to wear the shoes in the rain recently and they kept my feet completely dry. This was no light drizzle either, it was a full on storm. I'm happy because now I don't have to wear ugly footwear to keep my feet dry and these shoes are really, really comfortable.
Honest reviews on ASICS Women's Gel-Trail Lahar 3 G Running Shoe
I only ever buy Asics for this reason they fit as expected (always true to size) and the support in these shoes are incredible very endurable. I highly recommend Asics for walkers, runners, and hikers for fit, support and traction.

I'm typically a big Asics fan. However in this case, the heel sort of collapsed inside and caused a major blister after less than 5 times wearing them. I'm not a heel crusher and know I didn't cause that issue. I wouldn't recommend these.
